ENGLISH: It’s finally time: We’re proud to present to you guys our new song «Handgeschrieben», which is taken from our upcoming album «Wegweiser». Your amazing support (Crowdfunding) has helped finance this album and we’re therefore even happier to be able to give you a first preview of our new CD. Without your help this album wouldn’t have been possible in this form – Thank you all! Have fun listening the song. We can’t wait to share with you our full album!

«Wegweiser» will be released on July 4 through the German label SAOL. On Saturday, July 5, we’ll celebrate the release of the new album at the Schüür club in Lucerne, Switzerland. The German band Nothgard and the local act Axxelerator will join us as well. It’s going to be one hell of a party!

Sadly, we have to announce that our new album «Wegweiser» won’t be released as planned on May 30. The release of the full-length is going to be postponed to the following date: Saturday, July 5. The reason for this delay are two conflicting shedules at the New Sound Studio. A statement regarding this situation can be found here:

«Dear Abinchova fans – As you may already know, Abinchova will have to postpone their release party. This is due to the fact that they had to push back their production schedule. They did this in order to do Eluveitie a huge favour: the production of Eluveitie’s new album, which is also being recorded at the New Sound Studio, has been delayed as well and Abinchova have agreed to let go of their scheduled studio time. As the manager of Eluveitie I’m immensely thankful for my friends at Abinchova and I hope all you Abinchova fans will understand the awesome and friendly manner Abinchova have dealt with this matter. Best wishes – Oliver Macchi, Manager Eluveitie»

We at Abinchova want to deliver an absolutely kick-ass album for you guys and this additional time will help us finish the album without compromises. We can’t wait to let you hear the first songs off our new full-length «Wegweiser»

CROWDFUNDING – We did it!

After a running time of 60 days, our crowdfunding project has finally come to an end! Over 100 people have funded our new album «Wegweiser» and made it possible for us to reach and surpass our goal of 10’000 Swiss Francs – Thank you all for your amazing support! All in all, our project ended with an amount of 14’530 Swiss Francs (around 11’800 Euro / 16’000 US Dollar). Every cent will be put towards to production of our new album. We’ll enter the new sound studio with Tommy Vetterli in early 2014 and hope to release our new full-length in mid-2014. In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted with studio updates, new sound-snippets, and other great announcements – We go full steam ahead! Thanks again for your incredible support. Without you guys, this wouldn’t be possible! :-D

CROWDFUNDING – Last 3 days!

The crowdfunding project of our band Abinchova is coming to an end. You can still invest in our project until Saturday, October 12 (2pm)! In order to realize our new album «Wegweiser» without any compromises from labels, etc. we decided to fund the production of our new CD with the help of interested listeners from all over the world.

If you are interested in supporting our project and want to get some exclusive goodies and extras by doing so, then head over to the following website: www.bit.ly/abinchova

Thank you so much for your support! Every kind of support is appreciated, so share, re-post, and invest – Together, we can make this album happen! :-)

It’s simply astonishing that we’ve already received over 13’000 Swiss Francs (around 10’650 Euro) in only 35 days from you guys – Thank you all so much for your support! But our crowdfunding project for our new album «Wegweiser» is not over yet. You can still help finance our album recording at the New Sound Studio with Tommy Vetterli (Eluveitie, among others) and become part of this production. Every investment will be rewarded with many goodies and extras, which are exclusively and only available through our crowdfunding project on Wemakeit.ch. T-shirts, special editions, and much more – There’s something for everyone! (No credit card? Write us: cd@abinchova.ch)

Every additional Swiss Francs will be put towards the recording and release of our new album. 13’000 Swiss Francs are only one part of the considerably higher production budget that we need to realise our upcoming full-length. Together we can make our new album a reality. No compromises. Just quality. You are our record label!

About the Initiators

Heartfelt folk metal is the prime priority of the seven musicians of Abinchova.

Melodic folk tunes and crushing metal riffs characterize the sound of this band. Lyrically, the group has dedicated itself to the telling of old tales and myths, which are brought to you by screams and classical female vocals.

Abinchova – A wave of music that transforms every concert into a beer soaked festivity!
